Psalm 103 and Isaiah 55

"Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name!
  Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits,
 
     who forgives all your iniquity,
       who heals all your diseases,
          who redeems your life from the pit,
            who crowns your life with good, so that your strength is renewed like the eagle's. . . .

The LORD is merciful and gracious,
  slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. . . . .

He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities.

For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
  so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;
 
     as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.

As a father shows compassion on his children,
  so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him.

                                                                            For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust."
                                                                                                                            Psalm 103: 1-5, 8, 10-14

"Come, everyone who thirsts, come the waters;
  and he who has no money, come, buy and eat!
    Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

Why do you spend money for that which is not bread,
  and your labor for that which does not satisfy?

                                                                                        Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good,
                                                                                                        and delight yourself in rich food. . . .

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, 
   neither are my ways your ways, declares the LORD.

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, 
   so are my ways higher than your ways
     and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Isaiah 55:1-3a, 8-9
